Students wanted to see if the distance the marble rolled down a ramp changed the force it had. They allowed a marble to roll down the ramp from different starting points and strike a second marble. To determine if the force of the rolling marble changed, what should the students measure?

The distance marble #2 moves after being struck by marble #1.

The mass of marble #2 before and after being struck by marble #1.

The time it takes marble #2 to move after being struck by marble #1.

The direction marble #2 moves after being struck by marble #1.

Students are investigating motion with a rubber band car. They want to know how the number of winds of the rubber band affects how the car moves. They will record the number of winds of the rubber band. What other data will they need to collect?

The amount of time it takes to wind the propeller

The width of the surface on which the car moves

If a student has two magnets, how might it be determined which magnet is stronger?

Count how many paper clips each magnet can lift.

Students create balloon rockets by taping drinking straws to balloons and running a thick string through the straw. The ends of the string are held tightly apart. When the balloon is inflated and released, it moves along the string. What should the student do to change the amount of friction that slows the motion of the balloon rocket?

Replace the string with thin wire.

Hold the string ends closer together.
